PARK CITY.
A Breezy Letter from the Great
Whining Camp. q
OGDEN, Feb. 18th.


A. G.. Reese of the Record came back
from Salt Lake Wednesday.
j.. L. Haywood is up from the city on
business.
f. p. Ferry is expected home in II
couple OF weeks.
Mr.. w. S. Sharp, our popular druggist
has ceen confined to the house for a few
days with rheumatism.
Philip Shoots has gone to the Ogden
Hot Springs for his health.
Efforts are being made TO establish a
Temple OF Honor lodge here, and from
the encouragement received already, sue
cess can be safely predicted. A Temple
OF Honor lodge is worth instituting in
any town, and it is to be hoped that the
one now being organized will receive the
hearty support that is justly its due.
A land slide occurred Wednesday night
on the Heber road, short distance from
town The waste water flume from the
Marsac mill runs over this road, and in
some way the water, being diverted from
its channel, ran over the embankment,
loosening tine earth and causing the slide.
The road was filled up to great depth,
and all day Thursday the Daily company
had large force OF men cleaning it out.
The slide was something that is liable to
occur at that place at almost any time,
and the DAILY company should see that it
does not occur again, lest it prove more
serious than did the late one.
Odd Fellows Lodges, Nos. : and g.,
were rendered banquet last Monday
evening at the residence of Mr.. VIM.
Bennett. \ large number were present
and the evening passed as merrilY and
happily as sociabilty and good cheer
could make it, and when the wee sma'
hours" came all were 10th to 90, declar-
ing unanimously that it was one OF the
happiest evenings ever spent in the Park.
The Marsac mill will be in operation
again about the 18Th OF the present
month.
Mackintosh's sampler received during
the week ending February 2nd the fol-
lowing lots OF ore: Sampson, II ,230
pounds; DAILY, 105,97O pounds; Ontario,
265 200 pounds.
One hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars in dividends in one month by two OF
our mines surely speaks well for Park
City. The Ontario paid its regular
monthly dividend OF 1000 on the 3lst
OF January, and on the 18th inst the
DAILY will pay its frs dividend, amount
ing also TO $4,000. The last Ontario
dividend makes the immense amount OF
$4,000, 900 paid out by that mine
Progressive euchre parties are all the
20 in the Park now, quite number hay
ing been given OF late; the last at the
residence OF Mrs. A. B. Emery. The
evening was passed pleasantly. Miss
Eta Young secured the first prize and
Mr.. Robert Davis the "booby prize"
A grand ball is advertised to be given
by the Park City branch OF the Irish
National League OF America, the pro.
ceeds to 90 to the evicted tenants in Ire
land. March 18th els the date, and witt
such men as Neil ellis, j. NJ. Martin,
John Judge, James Kerwin and Mat
Conley as the committee of arrange
ments, it can be nothing short OF an i'm
mense success.
The Hancock Post, &. A. r., of Park
City, are preparing to have rousing
campfire in the near future. All the ar.
rangements have not been perfected yet
but we understand the boys intend tc
spread themselves and have one OF the
jolliest times of the season.
A lodge in the Rebecca degree OF the
|. o. o. F. is talked Of.
The revival meetings in the Methodist
church are increasing in spirit and at
tendance. Rev. T. G.. Iliff is conducting
the meetings, which is enough to say
that they are successful.
The machinery for the electric light
works is constantly arriving.
a large Taylor cylinder press will be
here this week for our new paper, the
CaH,. 1t will be used to get ont their
next issue
Kimball Bros. have just finished the
hauling OF twenty tons OF ice to the Onta-
rio mine clearinghouse. The boys
built large pond last fall, and are now
prepared to furnish ice OF most excellent
quality in size lots.
Two deaths OF little ones in two DAYS
in the same family can not but
compel the sympathy Of com
munlty to go out to the
family, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Davis have the sympathy OF the people
OF the Park, for to-day two of their dar-
lings were carried TO the grave. One
was hurt some time ago while PLAYING and
became so bad that an operation was
the only chance OF saving its life This
was resorted to but was OF no avail, and
Tuesday night the little sufferer passed
away. The other child, younger one,
died Wednesday evening, victim OF
bronchitis. Rev. r. c. Hit conducted
the funeral services, which were largely
attended.
Only two cases disturbed the usual
quiet OF the Police Court during the past
week.
The Farish-McLaughlin mine is being
worked by Il small force OF men. The
shaft is now down to the depth OF 200
ieet, and rumOr has it that large vein
OF ore has lately been encountered. The
TACT That this group, both the Morgan
and DOlberg groups, lie in line with The
On'arlo and DAILY veins, gives weight TO
tlc rnmor. Rich ore has been found in
IhGg DoIblrg group, which, BY the way.
VIII be opened up and developed in the
coming spring and this with the Parish
nlcIalghlm, Is expected to be one of the
leading properties of the Park.
